Hello,

because I think it's a very good software and, with just a few adjustments / additions (like the ones in my pull request), it can be a great library too, would it be a good idea for you to change the license to a more permissive one? It may be something like Apache License 2.0 or any other license not forcing to distribute it in open source software only, would be ok.

At the moment I've integrated it in a software that cannot be open source at the moment, even if it will be distributed for free. The new license may highly increase the use of this software as a library.

What do you think about it? Would it be possible?

Thank you :)

Good question. With the current license you still can use it as a sidecar. I'd keep that in mind.
